- Does it work with any Android phone?
- It needs a USB-C port with OTG support and a compatible IR remote app. Many recent Android phones support OTG, but some budget models do not. Check your phone's OTG setting before buying.
- Do I need to install an app?
- Yes. The adapter has no controls or app of its own, so you pair it with a third-party IR remote app from the Play Store. The app provides the device codes and buttons.
- How far can it control a device?
- The listed range is about 8 to 15 meters, roughly 26 to 49 feet, in line of sight. Walls and cabinets block infrared, so keep the phone pointed toward the appliance.
- Can it control an air conditioner?
- Yes, air conditioners are among the supported appliances, along with TVs, set-top boxes, fans and lights. AC control depends on your app having the right code set for your model.
- Does it need charging or batteries?
- No. It draws power from the phone through the USB-C connector, so there is nothing to charge. It only works while plugged in.
- Can it control more than one device?
- It can send codes for many appliances, but only one at a time, since it is a single plug-in blaster. You switch devices inside the app rather than moving the adapter.
